Architects working at Harrods have uncovered a “forgotten” mosaic floor that has been hidden under flooring for almost a century.

They found the perfectly preserved Harrods logo picked out in black and white when preparing the Knightsbridge’s store’s new Room of Luxury.

Archivists established that the floor dated from 1901 when a long since closed Brompton Road entrance was created.

The mosaic is now displayed in a window overlooking Brompton Road. A Harrods spokesman said: “After over 160 years of trading we are still uncovering some of the most incredible, original beauty of the Knightsbridge store.

“It is amazing to think in this brand new room, hosting the latest products from the most innovative brands, that something over 100 years old is such a prominent feature.”
